Hotel Atlantic El Tope

Myself and teenage daughter booked this hotel through a third party and were very pleasantly surprised. It was very quiet and empty which we loved (partly because she was studying for upcoming exams), only a few older visitors and quite a few solo German travellers, some of whom we became friends with. We loved the range & quality of food provided on the buffet, we did half board which was great. Our highlight had to be the new roof top terrace bar & jacuzzi! We spent a lot of time there; great views and nice place to relax. Only a short 5 minute walk downhill (good for the legs!) to the centre of Puerto Della Cruz and the Lago Martinez complex & bars/restaurants. If you want a hotel to stay in the whole time or with lots of entertainment, it wouldn’t suit, but if you want to have a balance of hotel and town experience and a great base to be in, then I would fully recommend & we would go back tomorrow! I went for morning runs down the coast and used the wee gym a few times: even if it was quite basic. My daughter and I enjoyed getting dressed up and going for ice creams, karaoke & drinks in the town :). There was a professional photographer there on the night we arrived who took a beautiful picture and made us a souvenir magazine for breakfast the next morning. (See pics). There in a mini market, tourist booking place and tapas bar right underneath! We went on a few trips down south of the island for great value. Big shout out to the staff across the hotel who were all very accommodating & kind, especially Yapci!

To celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary we revisited this hotel at Puerto De La Cruz. With new owners we were concerned that changes had been made however despite alterations being made the hotel was as good as ever. The rooms and service was excellent,the Restaurant despite being moved back to the Ground floor had excellent variety of meals to suit all tastes and the staff headed by Pedro,with Martin ,Federico Melanie and colleagues were welcoming and very obliging and super efficient. I must mention a new addition,The Top. On the 7th floor you can observe the whole of the surrounding area from very comfortable loungers,beds, and 2 hot tubs. A bar serving drinks is also there,a very nice addition to this lovely hotel, but the location is halfway up a hill with 125 steps to walk up and down to the town so not suitable for those with mobility problems,then there is always a taxi!! The new owners are looking to turn it into a family friendly hotel with a new swimming pool and all inclusive,which might deter some people.

Third stay and paid extra for a room in the main building on the third floor which was very noisy. The noise transmission from other rooms was considerable and kept me awake every night. Constant loud bangs, thumps, rumbling sounds the entire evening often until 1am. It ruined the holiday. I will not stay again. The building is old and made of concrete and sound travels! There is no sound proofing. The food is the best feature of this hotel. Drinks varied in price depending on who was serving and were 2 or 3 euros more than bars in town and other hotels.

WARNING! Before you sit in the chairs for eating check they aren’t coming apart. We avoided many chairs as they were separating but one evening at dinner the room was crowded and although the chairs available looked ok when we sat and had our beverages delivered my wife’s chair came apart. Luckily she grabbed a firm hold on the table while the “dining room manager” and I steadied her from hitting the floor. Beverages spilled on us and all over. She has some minor mobility issues with her knees and was injured trying not to fall to the floor. Other guests checked their chairs! We were told by said manager to report it at the desk so we did. The “hotel manager” said OK, didn’t assist us in any way nor did he write anything down. Food, always buffet style, was awful. Very cold no matter what was chosen at what time of day. Now the other bad parts, we reserved in advance, an accessible room due to wife’s knee issues only to arrive to learn the duration of our pre cruise stay (four days) that accessible room was non existent and snappy response was “at least you’re near the elevator”. Sadly, it broke on day two and there was no way to reach our room so we stayed all day in the lobby until it was repaired. The view from our room was nice and room was clean but we didn’t know the hills were impossible to climb for my wife so again she remained at the hotel. Day three we rented a car and escaped. The entertainment provided at the hotel was nice enough but held in the open reception area. People walked through, chatting over the entertainment sounds and moved furniture where they wanted. Took away from performances greatly.

Gorgeous mountain view from my room, really comfy bed and friendly staff who were always helpful . The hotel was in a great position for exploring the town and the sea front. It was my birthday whilst I was there , thank you so much for the cava and making me feel special. Would definitely return for another stay

The hotel is not 5 star it is 3 star if lucky . The room smelled of damp, the food was average , staff had no idea what time there own roof top Opened , gym was zero rated no machines worked and over 3 days we stayed was not cleaned once same tissues laying there after 3 days . Some of the guest were clearly unused to seeing Asian people as we got a lot of snide comments and looks

I stayed here for one week 30th January to 6th february Half board in Room 113 booked with Tui, Nice Hotel, kind and helpful staff and food good and plenty to choose from, Bedroom nice and enjoyed relaxing around the hotel pool at times.. Definetly recommend this hotel and will return in the future x

We booked a room with a partial sea view and could see and hear the sea when sitting on our balcony of an evening. The room was clean and comfortable. We do an hour’s exercise each morning and it was ideal that there was a small gym and a circular pool, which was great for swimming circuits. I had it to myself every morning before breakfast. Breakfast was good, with a wide range of hot and cold choices. We only booked B&B and we’re glad we had, as even for a week the food would have got a bit samey. There was entertainment in the lobby bar every night from 8.30. However it was not the best. The hotel is near to the sea front so you are better off heading into town for dinner and any entertainment you are seeking.
